Psychiatric Conditions We Treat
Anxiety
Anxiety is a natural and common human emotion. When you’re anxious, your body and mind might react with physical symptoms like a faster heart rate, tense muscles, and racing thoughts. Anxiety is normal, but persistent or severe anxiety may interfere with daily life and may require attention and support.
Depression
Depression is a complex mental health condition that goes beyond occasional feelings of sadness or temporary mood swings. It profoundly affects an individual’s emotional and physical well-being, altering how they think, feel, and engage with the world around them. Characterized by a persistent sense of despair, loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities, and a noticeable impact on daily functioning, depression requires a compassionate, multifaceted treatment approach.
ADHD
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by challenges in sustaining attention, impulsivity, and often excessive physical activity. In Short, it’s hard to pay attention, control impulses, and stay still, making it a bit tougher to focus and manage tasks. Medications can be effective in managing symptoms.
Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition that causes extreme mood swings, ranging from high energy and euphoria (mania) to low energy and deep sadness (depression). These mood swings can affect a person’s daily life. Managing mood swings in bipolar disorder often involves a combination of medication, therapy, and lifestyle changes.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder can develop after someone experiences a traumatic event. You may have intense thoughts, and feelings, and may experience flashbacks, nightmares, or difficulty sleeping. It can affect daily life, but with proper support and treatment, you can learn to manage and cope with its effects.
OCD
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is a condition where a person has persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and engages in repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) to reduce anxiety related to those thoughts. OCD can impact daily life and relationships, but with proper treatment, individuals can learn to manage and alleviate its effects.

I’ve encountered these emotions and feelings before…
Depression
Depression manifests differently in everyone. While some might experience intense feelings of sadness, despair, and low self-esteem, others might feel excessively stressed, overwhelmed, and exhausted.
Typical signs of depression can include:
A lack of interest or enjoyment in activities
Persistent low mood
Fatigue or diminished energy
Changes in appetite, either reduced or increased
Difficulty focusing
Restlessness or agitation
Thoughts of self-harm or that life isn’t worth living
Mood Disorders
Mood disorders affect how you feel and can make everyday life challenging. They mainly fall into two categories:
Depressive Disorders: If you’re dealing with this type, you might feel really sad or empty, lose interest in things you used to enjoy, or struggle to find any pleasure in life. This includes conditions like major depression, persistent low mood (also known as dysthymia), and seasonal mood changes that can happen in winter (known as Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD).
Bipolar Disorders: This type is like being on an emotional rollercoaster with really high highs (called mania), where you might feel super energetic and happy, and very low lows (depression), where you might feel very sad or hopeless. Bipolar I and Bipolar II are two kinds of bipolar disorder.
It’s tough, but understanding these disorders is a step towards managing them and feeling better.
Anxiety
Feeling anxious now and then is part of life. But when your worry doesn’t go away and starts to take over, making everyday tasks feel overwhelming, it might be more than just stress – it could be an anxiety disorder. Remember, you’re not alone in this; anxiety disorders are actually the most common mental health issue in the U.S., affecting 40 million people. The good news? They’re very treatable.
Signs of anxiety can include:
Worrying a lot about different things, not just one issue
Finding it hard to stop or control your worry
Feeling on edge
Getting tired easily
Having trouble focusing
Being easily annoyed
Struggling to sleep
ADHD
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a widely recognized mental health condition, known for causing higher-than-average levels of hyperactivity and impulsive actions.
Typical behaviors seen in ADHD can involve:
Difficulty staying focused or paying attention to tasks
Often forgetting to finish tasks
Getting distracted easily
Trouble staying seated or still
Cutting into conversations or interrupting others
Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings that include emotional highs, known as mania or hypomania, and lows, or depression. These intense fluctuations can affect energy, thinking, and behavior, leading to unpredictable mood and behavioral changes that can cause significant challenges in daily life.
The main types of bipolar disorder are:
- Bipolar I Disorder: This type involves periods of severe mood episodes from mania to depression.
- Bipolar II Disorder: A milder form, involving less severe manic phases called hypomania, alternated with depressive episodes.
